Sergi Roberto commits future to Barcelona

Sergi Roberto has dismissed any speculation of a move away from Barcelona by agreeing a new four-and-a-half year contract at the Nou Camp.

Roberto had been linked with a reunion with former manager Pep Guardiola at Manchester City in recent transfer windows but Barca boss Ernesto Valverde has ensured the youth team graduate has been tied down to a long-term deal.

The 25-year-old, who has made 25 appearances this season, had 18 months left on his previous contract and a release clause of 40million euros (£35m).
